It does take time to make a homemade pasta sauce, so I choose to make large batches of sauce, in a slow cooker, and freeze in portion sizes. I find 3 cup portions are the most useful, since many recipes call for a jar of pasta sauce (equaling 3 cups). Marinara sauce is so versatile in the typical American diet. I know my family frequently enjoys a wide variety of Italian dishes. I hope you enjoy this slow cooker marinara sauce in your family’s favorite dishes, just like we do.
